Moreno has only missed two league matches and his return to the team is reminiscent of Jurgen Klopp's selections when he first started at Liverpool.

And in an interview, the 25-year-old admitted his own relationship with Klopp has not always been perfect.

He told Spanish newspaper Marca: 'It's been strange. He arrived and I played everything and at the beginning of the following season I disappeared.

'When I saw that a right-footed midfielder like Milner was the left back, I thought something was happening. He didn't give me explanations.

'Already in summer I saw that the season was going to be f***** up and that's how it was. I cannot find a reason for what happened.'

The circumstances surprised Moreno and he spoke to the Liverpool manager about how he could return to the side.

Klopp told him he needed to keep pushing in training, but the chance to prove himself in the team never came.

Moreno continued: 'He told me the team was fine, that I should continue working. I did, but the opportunity didn't come.

'I went to talk to him five or six times and the message was the same but nothing changed.'

Even so, when asked about his relationship with the German, Moreno seemed relatively content.

'It's a different relationship. He's helping me a lot, he corrects me and I think it shows,' he said. 'I am a more mature player, but also with better defensive reading, with more ability to concentrate.'
